1 Once more, my soul, thy Savior, thro’ the Word,
Is offered full and free;
And now, O Lord, I must, I must decide:
Shall I accept of Thee?
Refrain:
I will! (I will) I will! (I will)
I will, God helping me, I will be Thine!
Thy precious blood was shed to purchase me—
I will be wholly Thine!
2 By grace I will Thy mercy now receive,
Thy love my heart hath won;
On Thee, O Christ, I will, I will believe,
And trust in Thee alone! [Refrain]
3 Thou knowest, Lord, how very weak I am,
And how I fear to stray;
For strength to serve I look to Thee alone—
The strength Thou must supply! [Refrain]
4 And now, O Lord, give all with us today
The grace to join our song;
And from the heart to gladly with us say:
"I will to Christ belong!" [Refrain]
5 To all who came, when Thou wast here below,
And said, "O Lord, wilt Thou?"
To them "I will!" was ever Thy reply:
We rest upon it now. [Refrain]
